SC07 - Day 1

Well, here we are! After arriving in L.A. yesterday afternoon, we enjoyed perusing the campus of Grace Community Church! We were even able to take a tour of the 'Citadel'! The Citadel is the armed fortress where many of Grace Community's pastors have their offices! It was pretty cool to be behind those walls for the first time. The novelty wore off pretty quick, however. It is only a building! We did see Chris and Izumi Martin! They seem to be loving Christ and doing well. Izumi was trying to convince us of our need for sushi. Chuck bought into that pretty quick! No one else was convinced. I will try it if the opportunity presents itself!

We also saw Adam and Renee Baily! They are doing well and enjoying the Shepherd's Conference from a pastor's perspective. They have been key members of the Shepherd's Conference staff for the last few years. We also saw Nate Busenitz. He is doing well and ensured us that Beth and the kids would be around on Sunday. They must not be fighting the sicknesses we have been fighting!

We had a great trip down. Tuesday morning we enjoyed some awesome worship music by PCD, Chris Tomlin, and an assortment of other artists. I must say, however, that I am looking forward to our first session today! The worship in song is always outstanding, bring much glory to the only One deserving of all praise! I am excited to grow in knowledge and understanding of Christ this week, knowing that my joy in Him will increase to His glory!
